The Impact of New Learning Technologies in Education

Abstract

Discusses the changing role of information technology in education
to where it is now – a tool for use across the curriculum with
increased networking of computers. Reports a 30 per cent increase per
annum since 1985 of computers in schools. Looks at the challenge posed
by the use of new technologies in education and training, the
implications of the National Curriculum, NVQs and local management of
schools. Argues the need for schools and colleges to adopt an
increasingly strategic approach and for ongoing staff development.
